scarlet is ready!
lmao

Not funny, Shim.

Well, it has warmed up quite nicely in Aspen.  My seminar is almost over and I'll be attending a barbeque at Owl Farm (Hunter Thompson's ranch) this afternon where a jam will be happening.  
 
FlaxShimBoy:  IIWY, I wouldn't start laughing until Scarlet is actually delivered AND passes inspection!
 
Mica:  Any word on the Spertzel tuners?
 
Bill, tgo

(I'm a bit behind, but catching up.)
 
Wow!!!!
 
It occurs to me that this guitar will be a bit difficult to play what with resting your arm on all those sharp ridges.
 
The combination of the quilt and tint (and artistry) are stunning.

Yes indeed, you've got locking tuners, and they are even on the guitar.   Now we play the waiting game for pickups and the late addition truss rod cover, but you can see how patient your machine is being:

  These must be 2 of your pickups:

 But when I wiped them off (not very well), I think the top one is actually the middle pickup judging from the grain. I didn't want to go into the spray booth to see other one since Bob was painting not too long ago.  Good stuff!

Bill,  
 
The vertical grain in those coco bolo PU covers is really going to look sweet with the neck lams. Nicely done!

Cool!!

Oh Boy! That's looking pretty sweet Bill. Love the pickups.
 
graeme

WOW!  Thanks, Mica.  They look awesome!  It won't be long now.
 
Bill, tgo

its a keeper billy and i need to eat my words on the coco covers
have you named it?
you should only play happy notes on this beauty
ps- gonna sell off your excessive inventory?
lol

As for a name, I've been mulling world justice and peace for the three front inlays, top to bottom.  Maybe Woody, since the quote inlaid around the peace sign is the descendent of This Machine Kills Facists, the quote Woody Guthrie wrote on his guitar.  Or perhaps The Elephant because elephants have a looooonnnnggg gestation period (lol).  Or The Waiter (not because it serves food).  I'm certainly open to suggestions.
 
As for the excessive inventory, have you been talking to my wife?   You buyin'?
 
Bill, tgo

Bill,
 
Those coco covers shore do look purdy.
 
Since I'll be waiting longer than you, you can't actually have this name, but I've taken to calling my bass Godot.
 
*snicker*

Bradley:
 
Thanks for the morning laugh.  Somewhere Mr. Beckett is undoubtedly smiling.  
 
or, in the words of those 4 British lads: It won't be long yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
 
Bill, tgo

Bill, Bradley...
 
I believe the three of us are in the same graduating class! Word on the street is that I'll have Big Stubby home in the next week or so.
